“To the extent we behave with humility, to that extent good will result.”

The more you prune a plant, the more it grows. So too the more you seek to annihilate the ego, the more it will increase. You should seek the root of the ego and destroy it.

There is no mind to control if you realise the self. The mind having vanished, the self shines forth. In the realised man, the mind may be active or inactive, the self remains for him.

Realisation is our nature. It is nothing new to be gained. What is new cannot be eternal. Therefore there is no need for doubting if one would lose or gain the Self.

You have to ask yourself the question ‘Who am I?’ This investigation will lead in the end to the discovery of something within you which is behind the mind. Solve that great problem and you will solve all other problems.

Whatever is done lovingly, with righteous purity and with peace of mind, is a good action. Everything which is done with the stain of desire and with agitation filling the mind is classified as a bad action.

The life of action need not be renounced. If you meditate for an hour or two every day you can then carry on with your duties. If you meditate in the right manner then the current of mind induced will continue to flow even in the midst of your work.

Beyond the belief that something can be lost, there is nothing to lose.

The question ‘Who am I?’ is not really meant to get an answer, the question ‘Who am I?’ is meant to dissolve the questioner.

The state we call realization is simply being oneself, not knowing anything or becoming anything.

It is said that the heart is in the microcosm just as the orb of the sun in the macrocosm. The mind in Sahasrara is like the disc of the moon.

Misery does not exist in reality but only in mere imagination.

The self is known to every one but not clearly. You always exist.

Peace is the inner nature of humankind. If you find it within yourself, you will then find it everywhere.

If a person realises his position and stays in his own self, things that are to happen will happen. Things that are not to happen will not happen. The shakti that is in the world, is only one. All these troubles arise if we think that we are separate from that shakti.

No one succeeds without effort. Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance.

Liberation exists- and you will never be liberated.

For leaders, the humility to admit and own mistakes and develop a plan to overcome them is essential to success. The best leaders are not driven by ego or personal agendas. They are simply focused on the mission and how best to accomplish it.

Pride is not the opposite of shame, but its source. True humility is the only antidote to shame.

It ain’t the heat, it’s the humility.

Humility must accompany all our actions, must be with us everywhere; for as soon as we glory in our good works they are of no further value to our advancement in virtue.

It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.

Great peacemakers are all people of integrity, of honesty, but humility.

Humility and tenderness are not virtues of the weak, but of the strong.

A true diva is graceful, and talented, and strong, and fearless and brave and someone with humility.
